Robert De Niro has revealed that he has welcomed his seventh child.
The double Oscar winner, 79, shared the news during a recent interview with ET Canada about his new comedy About My Father.
Asked about being a father of six, he corrected the reporter, saying: "Seven, actually ... I just had a baby."
De Niro stars alongside Sebastian Maniscalco in About My Father, which sees a man encouraged by his fiancée to bring his father along to spend a holiday weekend with her wealthy and eccentric family.
Asked about his own experiences of fatherhood, De Niro told ET Canada: "I don't think I've ever been a cool father.
"I'm ok. My kids disagree with me at times, they're respectful.
"My daughter is 11 and she gives me grief sometimes and I argue with her and adore her."
He added: "With my youngest now, there will be more to come, but that's, you know - that's what it is."
De Niro has six other children: Drena, Raphael, Aaron, Julian, Elliot and Helen.
The veteran actor added that sometimes he has to be "stern about stuff" with his children.
"I mean, there's no way around it with kids. I don't like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that, but [sometimes] you just have no choice," he told ET Canada.
"And any parent, I think, would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes you can't."
